Disney on Ice celebrates 100 Years of Magic in Review

We went to see Disney on Ice celebrates 100 Years of Magic last night.  I've seen many Disney on Ice shows over the years.  I've loved every single one I've seen.  I do not think there has been a bad one.  This show however has to be the best I have ever seen!  I really and truly loved this show.  We all did.  The running time is right under two hours, but the time just flew by.  There is a short intermission (ie: bathroom break).  The people working at the Coliseum were all great and really friendly.  They let us get right down next to the ice to take pictures, just asked that you stay a couple feet back from the barrier.  My husband and kids all loved the Mulan piece the best.  Beauty and the Beast, of course, was my favorite.  Though the It's a Small World portion was way up there.  If you can make it work, I highly recommend going!

  

 

Out and About

I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in Wyoming eating pizza with my kids and watching Dancing with the Stars.  Since last week we've already driven for 20 hours.  That's 20 hours in a compact car with all four kids and no husband.  Sigh.....  Thank goodness my kids are really good travellers!  If they were not I think I would be curled up in a little ball right now rocking back and forth while crying.  Instead I am just one very tired mama who cannot wait until we get home!  Only one more day of travel and then we will be at home.  Another four hours on the road.  Phew.  I'll have to tell you about our adventures later.  For now, lets just say that we have had a great time. 

We do have a definite be home by date.  This Thursday is Disney on Ice Celebrates 100 Years of Magic!  I am so excited to go to the show (and have my sweet husband drive there).  The show runs through the weekend, so if you haven't gotten tickets yet there is still time. 

For now, I'm going to head to bed and enjoy a night of hopefully good sleep before another long day.

Busy and Painful

We've been really busy over at our house and I feel like I am almost just floating along through it.  I've had a migraine for over a week.  I am so over the pain it isn't even funny.  It makes it really hard to focus and remember things through the fog of pain.  Can't slow down though, there is just too much going on!  Thankfully after another week it will calm down quite a bit.  Next Saturday is the Destination Imagination tournament, so we just have to make it through then.  With four kids each on a different team, with added practices I'll just say it has been crazy.  The kids are really enjoying it though! 

Princess is getting super nervous about the "competition" and having to be in front of people.  Lately she has decided that she is shy.  I have no idea where this has come from!  She has NEVER been shy in her life.  She is the kid that will talk to everyone, who is the little show off.  Now she freaks out around other people, hides behind me, and will not talk to anyone she doesn't know.  If anyone else is around she'll very quietly whisper what she wants to say to me.  It is quite aggravating to me; especially as I have no idea what has brought this on.  Hopefully it is just a phase and will pass. 

Picasso is getting ready for his Famous American Wax Museum at school.  He has been learning all about Neil Armstrong for it.  He already knew a lot, as my children are.....well my children.  He's doing a good job on it.  Today he is making platypi, as it is "Platypus Day" according to the Disney Channel. 

Thursday night I was at a baby shower and got asked if Picasso was ADD or ADHD.  That just floored me!  At church he doesn't like to sit like the other kids do.  He also is more fidgety and likes to walk around.  He pays attention and can tell you everything that was said.  He participates and answers questions.  He's just more likely to take you on a tangent.  He is definitely a very creative kid and has that artistic temperment, very much in his own world.  To me that does not make a kid ADD or ADHD.  He is not hyper active, he does not have attention problems, he's just Picasso. 

Angel is Angel.  She really is just a little angel, so eager to please, so helpful, quiet, and sweet.  She is working really hard with her DI team to get ready for their competition without any complaint.  Really she is just a good kid.

Archer got in a huge amount of trouble this past Tuesday.  He was asked to work on cleaning his room and decided to shove everything under his brothers bed.  We discovered it while he was gone to a church youth activity.  When he came home he got asked if he cleaned up and put everything away in the right place.  He lied and said that he had.  I have been very impressed though the rest of the week as he has totally owned up to his mistake and completely cleaned his room top to bottom.  I am glad that he owned  up to his lie and took his punishment to heart. 

That's us at the moment.  Busy and I am in pain.  What a pain that is!  Literally and figuratively.  I wish I could get rid of the pain, but am glad that my family loves me enough to work around the pain.
